How does the aluminum frame do at the track? Have you always ridden the aluminum frame or have you ever used a steel one. I was concerned the aluminum one would not be as stiff. I heard they were a little flexi. If those are the actual tires used on the bike it appears to handle pretty well. I thought of getting a steering damper but was getting the one that clamps to the top triple. I think it would be a good investment.. Appears you race a bit. What weight are you and do you know what all your fork setting are? Great looking work.
